I’ve just done a Google for him and OH MY GOD it’s the same man !!!!!!!

Bob Smith was lead designer on MTW2, and worked on all the other TW games, in his early days in the 80’s he made the strategy games Arnhem, Desert Rats ( North Africa 1940-42), And Vulcan ( Tunisian campaign Nov42 – May43) these games blew me away and were the games that got me into computers and wargames. I even started making AFV models to see what the tanks really looked like ( graphics were sooo bad back then) I even wrote Bob a few fan letters, and asked about what games he would be doing next etc..

I’m so happy Bob has followed his dream all these years, no wonder the TW games have been so good !

It’s even made me forget about the DEMO for a few seconds…...

wow
Sorry for the offtopic but....those were really great games...i specially liked Vulcan.
Hmm that took me back for a while... lol
